Circumstances might change then with his deal running out, but either in the summer or in January, the Palermo president stated that it would take a silly offer to sign him, I'm sure he said over €40-50m?!

I'd have to look the articles up but I definitely read it cos Chelsea were linked to him at the time!

Yeah, there's a strong likelihood that he said that but that's nothing more than the usual garbage talk of a club manager in the media. Everybody knows if he'll change clubs it will be for significantly less, all he's doing there is trying to push up his price by publically stating that he's not for sale not even for a billion etc., which is understandable. I remember e. g. Bayern having signed Mehdi Benatia the CB in the recent summer from Roma, Roma's president said in an interview last season when asked about a transfer rumour that some team (I think it was Man City back then) was in for Benatia and they were reportedly willing to pay 30 million euros for him and he replied "Benatia's left foot is worth more than 30 million euros" and then they sold him for 26 million euros to Bayern. They needed the money and were forced to sell. But that guy had a long term contract, so Roma were in a strong position negotiationwise, this lad will only have one year remaining, if he doesn't want to stay, I'd put my hand in fire that he won't cost more than 20-25 million euros, because no team would pay more for a player who's having his first noteworthy season in a top four European league, he's still only just a promising prospect who has a hefty risk factor in him, he might turn out world class, but that's far from certain.
 
Depay / Deulofeu: £16m
Van Dijk: £6m
Cleverley: Free
Cech: Loan (£2m?)
Ings: £4m
Januzaj: Loan (£2m?)

Although i would be tempted to spend all of our imaginary money on both Deulofeu and Depay; and seeing the (incredibly farfetched) rumours of us being 'interested' in Lacazette and Kovacic does make me want to sign them as well. Bill might have to get his imaginary cheque book out!

Cech
Coleman Stones V.Dijk Baines
McCarthy
Depay Barkley Januzaj
Mirallas
Lukaku
 
I'd sign that 'Everton Ribiero'
Never seen him play like, just for his name. We wouldn't even need to make up any new songs.

We could have a theme going here... Does Ian Goodison still play for tranmere? ;)

Sign this guy.... at all costs!!
 
Sorry, never normally rude but I would be devastated by all of that.

15mil for Begovic!! Yes he's good but we don't have 15mil for a keeper.
23mil Delofeu? SERIOUSLY? THIS HAS TO BE A WIND UP.
Ings - would never come here when he has UTD and the RS on his case.
Young - just a huge WOW!
Baines DM with James - DO WHAT??


Sorry but that is close to the worst post and line up I have ever seen on here.
But apart from that what didn't you like about it?
 
Its not who I would buy more who I would pay off:

Commercial Manager, then get one who knows what he/she is doing.
Barry.
Distin.
Howard.
Hibbert.
Jagielka.

We will not be in Europa cup which means we will not have Sunday game syndrome and will have to have a packed pre-season and bed in some youth.

Bring in:

Delboy.
Try Atsu for another loan.:hayee:

Got a chance to reply properly now matey...

15m for Begovic - if we have 15m then we have it for a keeper, no? He is definitely in the top 5 keepers in the league and yes whilst it would need a huge outlay to get him, divide that sum by the years we will get out of him bearing in mind he's only 27. What's the alternative? Stick with Howard? Stick with Robles? Buy a keeper who's cheap but yet needs 2 years to acclimatise to the premier league?

23mil for Deulofeu - I'm not sure what to say to your response when you haven't given any indication of what you think he would go for. We are talking about one of Barcelona's most anticipated breakthrough players. It's not been great for him at Sevilla, granted, but it wasn't great for Barkley at Leeds was it? The point i'm making is that there is no way he would be sold for under £20million in my opinion. His buy out is £30million for starters, he's still a kid, and is immensely talented. There would certainly be a buy-back option too.

Ings - The question is, if I had a transfer kitty who would I buy. I didnt think i'd have to actually conduct the negotiations mate. He's on a free, the tribunal won't say 6 million because they never do.

Young - Whilst I did admit that I didnt think I would have many backers in that shout, I think it's funny that - in the season that we are having - people like yourself still naively think we are too good for certain players. Certain players, further, that have won leagues. Don't you think this season there has been a lack of winners in the team? Phil Neville was a winner, albeit a not very technically gifted winner. Tim Cahill had a never say die spirit. On top of that, we have been CRYING out for some creativity on the left hand side this season. Someone who can cut in and make a chance or put a decent cross in. Ashley Young, if we could get him for 5-6 million, would improve us - surely that can't be disputed? Whether he is the player you want or the romantic name/nationality you'd want is another thing, but we need better, more creative options next season and Ashley Young would fulfill both of those.

I am not that particularly bothered about Young, it was just a suggestion based on what we lack and how much i had left to spend in my imaginary kitty.

Baines at CDM. He's played there, he looks good, he has vision, gives Garbutt/Oviedo (more pace) the opportunity into the team and lastly all of the other centre midfielders have been poor for most of the season apart from Besic who we have all seen can't play as a two with McCarthy.

Cheers mate ;)

That seems quite low for Van Dijk
Depay himself would cost over 20 mil
Chelsea would never loan Cech
Ings is 6 mil
Janujai is [Poor language removed]

Cech is a shout... would love Deulofeu. Not Cleverley, Januzaj or Ings though.
